I'm scared!!

Haha BUSTED!

D'oh!!

It sounds like you could benefit from wearing a splint at night (really common, I have one too ). Has anyone mentioned this to you in the past? They really help to prevent wear and tear, particularly in someone with a bite like yours.

Erm yeah...they suggested it about 5 years ago Seriously don't know why I didn't get one, I was just about to get married, then started having babies, etc etc. Time just gets away you know?

Will see what they say. If I were working I'd probably being looking at braces, but I just don't think we can afford it atm.

Sorry for hijacking Heaven!

Willow, don't forget all the orthos have payment plans (interest free). I don't mean some dodgy Harvey Norman thing, just fairly affordable monthly installments, with a deposit upfront.

Hun check out your local centrlink and as about a emergency dental hospital. We have one in our area that is free if you say it hurts really badly and you have a health care card. Worth having a look as it could save you alot of money. I have had all 4 of my wisdom teeth taken out through them for free.

I hadn't been to the dentist in years and years too! So I went not long ago and it was so NOT scarey at all!! All I needed was a little filling, which barely took 20 mins for that! They also gave me a clean and fluoride treatment too.

I tell you, you will feel sooo relieved after going!!

Ahh thanks so much Janie, you have put my mind at ease!! I'm always thinking of the worst case scenario, lol.

Thanks for all the encouragement guys!!

And thanks Ella I will look into that!!
